Asus has gone ahead and revealed the Transformer Pad Infinity (700 series), their latest and most premium tablet to date, at MWC 2012. The Transformer Infinity’s stand-out feature is a 10.1″ full HD 1920×1200 Super IPS+ display which uses Corning’s Gorilla Glass 2 for added scratch resistance and protection against breakage. The chassis (less the dockable keyboard) is a mere 8.5mm thick. Chippy has a hands-on video with the Transformer Pad Infinity right from MWC:

Interestingly, the Transformer Infinity can come in one of two variants that use separate platforms. The first of which is based on Nvidia’s quad-core Tegra 3, just like the Transformer Prime and Transformer 300, running at 1.6GHz. The Tegra 3 model is WiFi-only and has no 3G/4G connectivity. If you want to go the 4G LTE route, you’ll be greeted with a variant of the Transformer Infinity which is based on Qualcomm’s dual-core Snapdragon S4 ‘Krait’ Dual-core CPU running at  1.5Ghz. So we’re looking at quad-core 1.6GHz Tegra vs. dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon; I’m wondering whether or not there will be a significant difference between between the two, or perhaps even a difference in price (controlling for the price of the radios of course).

There’s no word yet about a price or release date for the Transformer Pad Infinity, but Asus has put up a micro-site for the product, and we’re expecting to hear about availability and pricing in the next month or so.

Other features and specs, which are common no matter which variant you’re looking at, are Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 1GB of RAM, 32/64GB of storage (or as low as 16GB on the 4G LTE model), an 8MP rear-facing camera (2MP front-facing), micro-HDMI port, microSD slot, and the optional keyboard dock which features an additional battery as well as a full-sized USB 2.0 port and a full-sized SD card slot.
